Fibula
View through Harvard Museums
This fibula has a simple wire bow, arching down to become a four-coil spring with a crossbar (in front of the bow rather than behind), which then becomes the pin. The bow has an octagonal section. The enclosed catch, almost cylindrical in shape, has raised linear decorations on each end.
